Citoyenneté Communale (Action publique et citoyennetés, phase 3) (APC 3)

01.01.2014 - 15.10.2018

Le poids des collectivités territoriales dans la dépense publique ne dépasse pas 4 % en moyenne dans les pays de l’UEMOA. Pour améliorer la délivrance des services publics locaux, il faut donc combiner les actions à tous les niveaux (local, national, régional). En travaillant sur les zones transfrontalières, le programme vise un double objectif : faire de la décentralisation un accélérateur de l’intégration d’une part et d’autre part, s’appuyer sur les instances régionales pour renforcer les politiques nationales de décentralisation.

01.01.2014 - 29.02.2020

The project promotes equitable water governance for food and people in over 300 villages in semi-arid watercatchment areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (KPK). When organized in water user organizations, approximately 35-45% of households in the targeted districts will use water more carefully within revised frame conditions. These are jointly reformed with local governments and contribute to solving water conflicts more efficiently and peacefully.

Scaling Up Payments and Investments in Watershed Services to Address the Global Water Crisis

01.01.2014 - 31.12.2016

The project is fostering a paradigm change that could transform the way the world’s watersheds are valued and managed: investing in natural infrastructure such as wetlands, streams and forests that can capture, filter, and store freshwater is emerging as one of the most cost-efficient way to secure clean water and recharge aquifers, making a key contribution to global water security. Indeed, according to the recent SDC-supported report on the Global State of Payment for Watershed Services, the number of such initiatives has now reached 10 billion USD annually as governments urgently seek sustainable alternatives to costly traditional infrastructure, from mega-cities such as New York and Beijing, to small villages in Bolivia.

Communication/sensibilisation

01.01.2014 - 31.12.2016

Vecteurs d’identité et de sens, mais également sources de créativité et de revenus, l’art et la culture jouent un rôle important pour le développement durable et la transition démocratique. Dans le cadre de sa coopération internationale, la Suisse s’est engagée à faciliter l’accès des artistes et productions des pays en développement à sa scène culturelle. Le soutien de la DDC aux activités d’Artlink, centre de compétence suisse pour la coopération culturelle, est une pièce angulaire de cet engagement.
